	abstract = {In order to provide an assessment of the "global" accuracy of the Liu-Siegbahn-Truhlar-Horowitz (LSTH) potential surface for H-3, hot atom reaction yields, which are determined from collision processes over an energy range much wider than that of single-collision experiments, have been calculated for the Mu*+H-2 and T*+H-2 systems. The isotopic comparison of muonium (Mu=mu(+)e(-)), an ultralight isotope of hydrogen (m(Mu)/m(H)approximate to 1/9), with the heaviest H-atom isotope, tritium, is a novel approach in testing the global accuracy of the H-3 surface. These reaction yields have been calculated using a formalism developed for (mu(+)) charge exchange, with input cross sections for elastic, inelastic (rovibrational excitation) and reactive collisions determined from quasi classical trajectories on the LSTH surface, in the center-of-mass energy range 0.5-11 eV. The rate of energy loss of the hot atom (Mu* or T*) due to elastic and inelastic collisions with the moderator (H-2) drastically affects the hot atom reaction yield. In particular, the forwardness of the angular differential cross section for the elastic process plays a crucial role in determining the stopping power for hot atoms. Good agreement is obtained in the absolute yields for both Mu(*)+H-2 and T-*+H-2, for the first time from microscopic cross sections, demonstrating that the LSTH surface remains surprisingly accurate over a wide range of energy and isotopic mass.

	abstract = {The thermally averaged total electron spin-flip cross sections (sigma(SF)) for Mu-Cs have been measured in a 2 atm N2 moderator at 543, 566, and 643 K using the muon-spin-rotation technique. Within an overall experimental error of +/-15\%, the measured cross sections can be taken as temperature independent, sigma(SF)=39.7+/-6.0 X 10(-16) cm2, though there may be a trend to decreased values at the lower temperatures. This average value is considerably lower than either the early calculated results of Dalgarno and Rudge [Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 286, 519 (1965)] or the more recent ones of Cole and Olson [Phys. Rev. A 31, 2137 (1985)] for the corresponding H-Cs collisions, indicating a dramatic isotope effect.},

	abstract = {The study of the reaction dynamics of muonium (Mu), an ultralight isotope of hydrogen ((m)Mu/(m)H almost-equal-to 1/9), provides a sensitive measure of mass effects in chemical reactions. The remarkable mass difference between Mu and the other hydrogen isotopes produces large kinetic isotope effects, providing a rigorous test of calculated potential energy surfaces (PES) and reaction rate theories. The low Mu mass also necessitates careful consideration of quantum effects, i.e. tunneling in the reaction coordinate. A review of recent results in gas phase Mu chemistry is presented, including comparison with relevant H chemistry and calculated PESs, where available. The magnitude and direction of the kinetic isotope effect is shown to be a sensitive function of the PES, particularly the height and position of the saddle point.},

	abstract = {Muon polarizations are reported for nitrogen and ethane over a wide pressure range from below 1 to 200 atm for N2 and up to 245 atm for C2H6. The N2 measurements were made at ambient temperature, while those for C2H6 were made at temperatures both above and below the critical temperature (305.3 K). This is the first mu-SR study of muonium and diamagnetic muon formation to cover the entire range from a low pressure gas to densities typical of liquids. The data are discussed in terms of hot atom and spur models. In the lowest pressure range, below 1.5 atm for N2 and about 10 atm for C2H6, the muonium polarization increases with pressure. This is well understood in terms of epithermal charge exchange. In N2 there is a small diamagnetic fraction, which is ascribed to the N2Mu+ molecular ion. This fraction approaches zero as the pressure is increased to 200 atm, with a corresponding increase in the muonium fraction, consistent with charge neutralization of the molecular ion by electrons from the radiolysis track. In C2H6, there is a decrease in the muonium fraction and a concomitant increase of the diamagnetic fraction with density, the changes occurring in two stages. The initial change is explained by stabilization of the vibrationally excited substitution products of hot muonium reactions. The second one is explained by proton transfer from the molecular ion adduct, C2H6Mu+ + C2H6 {\textendash}> C2H5Mu + C2H7+, trapping the muon in a diamagnetic product. Both N2 and C2H6 have a missing fraction of polarization above 10 atm, most likely due to spin exchange of Mu with paramagnetic species created in the muon track. In N2, the missing fraction is recovered at pressures beyond about 150 atm, which is explained by scavenging of electrons by positive ions. In C2H6 the missing fraction is roughly constant for densities beyond 5 mol l-1 (almost-equal-to 50 atm), and about twice the maximum found for N2. Both facts are consistent with the existence of ethyl radicals and hydrogen atoms in C2H6, which are longer lived than the spur electrons.},
